We're beta testing a Sensor Solution Kit right now in the fitness
center of one of New York City’s high-end residential buildings. Our fitness center kit is providing management with fascinating data, like high-usage times for the gym, which machines are most popular, mean temperature, and average humidity levels!

We’re teaming up with a bevy of like-minded companies as part of our BuildingLink Labs initiative. Why? To make BuildingLink’s residential propertymanagement solutions more comprehensive and ingenious than ever before! The following is a sampling of technologies we’re taking on board:

A home video intercom system from Nucleus — allowing residents to communicate room-to-room with family members or the front desk concierge.

Ontodia’s treasure trove of civic data — helping us compile meaningful community and compliance information for residents and managers.

Operational analytics from Panorama — lending a hand to managers looking for in-depth analysis of their building's data.

Our diverse group of partners plays a special role in the technological advances happening here at BuildingLink. Take a look at our BuildingLink Labs page for even more information on our “Lab Partners” and other new developments.

The future is filled with amazing technology, but it
can raise some bewildering questions. What kind of technology will we
see? How and where will we use it? And for what purpose? We get a lot of
emails from our clients wanting to discuss “The Future,” and even more so now that Verizon featured our smart fitness center solution in their recent announcement
(learn more in Item #3). So we think this is a great time to introduce
you to where the Future “hangs out” at BuildingLink — our BuildingLink Labs program.

We’re bringing you a future where new technologies add to the magic of living in luxury residential buildings. BuildingLink Labs is where we experiment with these technologies and build
amazingly useful tools with them. Yes, BuildingLink Labs is an actual
PLACE (the 4th floor of our New York offices). But, it’s also a
partnering INITIATIVE. And it functions as its own WEB PAGE. In the
broadest sense, BuildingLink Labs represents our commitment to find and harness technology that works for you in a frictionless way. Can you tell that we’re excited about this?
